Shakes Delight

Our little shop is over at New Fatehpura, right near Sukhadia Circle at 30-F. If you know the area, you know it gets really crowded in the evenings when everyone comes out to walk around the circle. That is usually when we are at our busiest, trying to keep up with all the different drinks people want. My hands are usually cold from handling the ice all day. We have been in this spot for a bit now, and it’s a small space, so we have to stay organized or we just get in each other’s way. Most of the time, I’m just cutting up fruit or cleaning the blenders for the hundredth time. The noise of the machines is something you just get used to after a week. Sometimes the power goes out for a few minutes and we all just have to wait in the dark until it comes back on. It’s just part of being in this part of town. We see a lot of students and families who are just out for the night. We aren't trying to be anything fancy, just a place where you can get a cold drink. The counter gets sticky pretty fast, so someone is always there with a wet cloth. By the time we close up, we are usually pretty tired and ready to head home. It’s just a regular day-to-day grind for us here at the circle.
